Kay Ervine is working on updating the Brotzman family book, it has taken her many years to research and she is still working on gathering information. I have done some research for her and published a book on my branch of the Brotzman's. This is available on Lulu.com in paperback. This is only for Jacob Heinrich Brotzman branch of Northampton County. It's only a subset of Kay's research, but if you are looking for information on the family, it's a good place to start, until she can get her book ready. (Also available in e-book format)

Frankenfield Updates and Correction:I'm currently working on the updates and corrections to Alfreda Patton Davidson's 2000 edition of the Frankenfield Family in America Beginning 1749, for the Frankenfield Reunion.

I have most of the research done for three branches of the family, Philip Frankenfield, the eldest son; Dorthy Frankenfield, wife of Conrad Hess; and John Leonard Frankenfield.

In 2014 I plan to finish John Henry Frankenfield, Adam Franknenfield and the two remaining daughters.

If you have questions, corrections or addtions to the current book please send them to me. It's Kevin at gi3 dot com.

Also looking for volunteers for research outside of Pennsylvania.

As it currently looks the book will be released in volumes starting in 2015. I have found a lot of information not contained in the book. It will not contain Alfreda's original research, it's only corrections and additions to her work.
